[rctinman]

Thanks for the list Bill, this helps a lot!!!!

Steve Ball

See attachment, for Zuber's Picks for Local Eats and Entertainment

I made this up the list has a wide range of places to try out. The Micro Brewery's all have great burgers.

Plus there is also a Nano Brewery NOT listed since it is very small which is connected to a lager model boating family. The Huffs out of the Atalanta area Carey Huff and his wife moved here to be partners in the Green Bus Brewery. If you are into craft beers give this a try it has a very limited menu but you can bring your own food in. It is located on the Downtown Square. Really cool place to stop by. Have Carey give you a tour.

Anyone bringing anything to fly? Is there a field in the area?

There is a flying field about 3/4 mile away! Do not know the rules to "guest fly" there...

Ok for the people that want to know why Ron Zaker is not first in the line up for A/B Hydro and Steve Ball is since Ron enter before Steve. We used racemastersevent.com for an entry system. It works very well for all races but this event is a little different than most races. Ron Byrd has done a wonderful job on keeping it straight and me. When I set up the names in the scoring program they were setup alphabetically.

Mark, It looks like you have Mark Grim running twice on page 2 for E hydro SAW. The same with Oval on page 7.

We have the safety netting up over 200 feet of fencing. Plus a lot of you will miss seeing Fred he was killed today by some fishermen cut down in the middle of his life he was almost 2 feet long water snake. Hopefully his wife and kids may still be around. We also had the course resurfaced multiple times today. Whose ready for some INTERNATS BOAT RACING?

 

[Jeff Lutz]

Well after months of getting ready for this race, Saturday while testing in the rain I had a bad accident. While changing a prop with a wet shop rag, I cut my left hand index finger and a tendon. I cannot move it inward (which is my remote finger), I was hoping to possibly still come and drive with my bird. Found out today my surgery is for this Friday, and I'll be in a splint locking off at least my index and bird finger, and therapy will start after that, making it impossible to come race. I have much regret from my accident which was preventable, all I needed to do was grab a towel instead of a shop rag, but all boaters please be careful with your props! I've been in the hobby since I was 9 years old, and never dreamed of this. I work with my hands a lot, and at this time need to focus on full recovery. Next Wednesday, I'm still going to try to talk the therapists into giving me my bird finger so I can possibly come still race twin, but I'm not real hopeful as I also need to be careful with my hands and it's a lot to pull off. Club and racers have fun, and I hope to make a race sooner than later! Regards, Jeff Lutz

That is a shame Jeff maybe you can make our October race or one of our Records Trial.

Guys you may want to print out this attachment or save it in your phones. There are also loads of chain restaurants if you prefer those.

Novarossi Marine USA along with Novarossi World are proud to announce the presentation of the trophy below at the 2017 IMPBA Internats banquet for the top US1 performance by a model boater that relies on Novarossi for their marine engine of choice. Good luck!!!!

 

[Buckshot]

No pressure there!!!!! LOL So I take it you are going alphabetically, or you guys just like to see me sweat?! LOL

Steve Ball

That is correct. On my list Steve Ball with A/B Hydro will be the first boat in the water at 6:30 am.

BLAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

 

[seaducerpete]

Is there a planed stopping point during time trials or is just run as far as we can

 

[Grimracer]

What is.. the best OVERALL performance? How is that determined?

Neat Trophy!

Grim

 

[dr gary turner]

Pete, probably not. Lots of boats to get ran and always at the mercy of the weather

Neat Trophy!

Grim

Grim,

Thanks. The Hunstville Club will use the same determining factors they use for the IMPBA Excellence in Performance Trophy, but will only apply to those boaters that are running Novarossi engines. There is a chance that the same boater could win BOTH trophies!!!...
